設計素材提供著設計實踐有新的題材來源,而明喻設計的構築應用,不僅是外觀造形上的取材,更關注其來源素材在構造關係上所能產生的刺激價值;但由於明喻設計的表現方式是在來源(source)與目標(target)之間,以外觀相似性來對應,但是沒有關係相似性應用的隱喻類別,因此在設計領域中(常見於產品設計)多僅能在外觀上著墨。本研究嘗試由案例取樣,來細究不同的轉化語言,以建立對照比較的基礎,並以明喻的「類比轉化」手法,針對同類型的來源素材(織品類),且同為展示場館的案例進行分析。研究結果發現,在明喻當中運用類比轉化的手法,有助於發展素材來源在空間應用上的構造啟發,此外,相較於「移置」在構造性與表敘性的脫離,當構造性與表敘性的整合性高,愈能呈現其構造脈絡與精神。
Source material is no doubt able to provide us with additional ideas for design practice. The simile design on architecture isn't merely a matter of form but also cares about the extra stimulation that can actually increase the quality of tectonic thinking. As a simile design, there has been a question concerning mere appearance similarity between source material and target, without relational similarity. Therefore, this research focuses on the techniques of simile to explore more contents and acquired more possibilities of inspired thinking in tectonics. As a result, the mapping manner of analogic transformations in the cases of simile design may help conduce the tectonic-innovations of source on practical applications. Finally, the good agreement with ontological and representation expression in architecture enhances the perception on creation and spirit in tectonics.
